Three hundred thousand shares of the stock have been placed In the treas-ru- y of the company. Portions of it will be sold as may be needed, the proceeds to be used in refitting the present mill and Increasing its capacity, opening out the ore'bodlea and purchasing other properties if desired, thus adding to the value of the properties of the company. With the expenditure of a few thousand dollars in putting the present mill in repair and operation and enlarging the ore bodies already opened up, the property will soon be shipping ore and should soon pay good dividends. In making investments in mining properties it is always well to inquire what the immediate neighborhood shows as a mineral bearing district The northern part of Elko county has produced in round numbers This la the amount given in sworn to nnd taxes paid upon by and A large amount of owners. mine the San of Francisco was acwealth early mines of this part of the from quired Nevada. The records of Elko county show that one mine produced in ninety days 8400,000, and taxes were paid and sworn to on this amount by the owners of the mine. The mining Interests received a great blow during the "slump" in silver, and much of the mining Industry was closed down at that time. Some has been carried on all the time, and In recent years many of the old time mlnea are being opened up again. New, men. with more progressive methods of mining are turning their attention to these old districts, and with cheaper wagon and railroad transportation, cheaper smelting charges and better and more modern machinery and processes, are making the business of mining In these districts once more the greatest business of the west $31,-000.0- as profits.
